Individual foil dinners are fun and easy. You place a chicken breast in center of a large piece of foil. Add chopped veggies (onions, potatoes, mushrooms, whatever you like), a few tablespoons of liquid (wine, water or broth) and seasonings. Seal foil securely so liquid doesn't leak out. Place over hot coals and cook, turning occasionally until done, about 20-30 min.

Part of the answer depends on what you mean by "camping". Car camping with access to a stove and an ice chest? Cabin camping? Backpacking? If you have an ice chest and a stove, grill, or other cooking implements readily available you can marinade meats, chicken, shrimp, fish and freeze them before you leave and they'll keep longer... just don't freeze what you need for the first night. You can grill vegs- par boil small potatoes before you go, and take mushrooms, leeks or scallions, peppers. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and sprinkle them with Mrs Dash.

Lunch can be things like hard boiled eggs, tuna packed in water (the kind sold in pouches), grapes, apples, oranges, low fat crackers, cheese spreads (you can add herbs to lowfat cream cheese)

Breakfast can be oatmeal with dried fruit and nuts, and some granola has acceptable numbers.

If you're backpacking, it's a bit tougher...but keep in mind, you'll be pushing yourself harder than normal, so a bit higher caloric intake isn't that much of a bad thing.

Whatever you normally eat. Why do you need a substiuttion?

... because it's sort of difficult to whip out an oven in the middle of a forest?

Anyway, it depends how hardcore your "camping" is. What do you have access to?
